What Clients
Are Saying

We were absolutely delighted to have Sara from GiveProsperly as our auctioneer The Weekday School Gala. This year’s event held special meaning, as we celebrated the past, present, and future of our beloved preschool, which has been nurturing young minds in New York City since 1930. From the moment she took the stage, Sara brought a warm, inviting energy that perfectly matched the spirit of the evening. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she struck the perfect balance between professional and playful, making everyone feel excited to participate. Sara’s fun and engaging hosting style turned the live auction into the most memorable part of the night—full of laughter, friendly competition, and heartfelt generosity. Thanks to her incredible talent and presence, we raised an amazing $35,000 to support our school’s continued growth and impact. We’re so grateful to Sara and the team at GiveProsperly for helping us honor our legacy with such joy and success. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to bring heart and momentum to their event!

The Weekday School

Have you ever attended a charity event and noticed how some auctioneers have the rare ability to bring the room to life? They command the gavel with authority and infuse the event with a charisma that inspires the audience to open their hearts—and wallets—to your cause. That's exactly what Sara Brzozowski does as our live auctioneer at St. Josephs Academy’s annual charity gala.

Sara captivates the audience with her warm, engaging personality, injecting humor and energy into every auction moment. Her connection with bidders transforms the atmosphere, making the auction a highlight of the evening and a truly enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Sara’s presence is more than just effective; it’s entertaining.

Sara brought in $82,200 this past year alone at our paddle raise and silent auction, exceeding expectations and garnering delight and enthusiasm from our guests. She skillfully generated competitive bidding, often eliciting higher-than-expected value for auction items, thanks to the excitement she created in the room. Sara turns auctions into memorable and successful events for our cause. Their auctioneers are invaluable, and we are fortunate to have them as part of our team year after year.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the way Sara runs the room.
